Jack Pearson plays squier almost exclusively. I am teaching my son about this. You can mod a squier with great frets and a straight neck to be a phenomenal guitar. Great discussion here. I have had a squier classic vibe and I tend to be a PRS core and Private stock guy. It was an excellent guitar. We Just got him a Players Strat and we are modding to the Vega Trem and adding pickups. I think that guitar is great. He has a good "picker". Like Father like son fortunately.

Thanks for watching!

That’s a sweet Squire. I own a 1984 black Japanese Squire that I bought by mistake thinking it was a Fender version when I was starting out in the early 2000’s for $200 bucks off EBay. Had EMG Steve Lukather box set added as a mod. Freaking love this guitar over my other Fender Strats. Plays and feels incredible. Keep the vids coming🤘

I've heard great things about the MIJ guitars

I took a fender Starcaster strat and did the David Gilmour thing to it. It sounded and played incredibly good.

That’s cool. I think almost any guitar can be made to sound good in the right hands.

I forgot to say I have the 60s vibe strat and it’s great, well worth the £399. I paid for it to start my collection off just under 3 years ago and I suck too but it’s fun.

They definitely stepped up their game on the classic vibe series

I play one it's fantastic

Squiers have thinner bodies as well, so it's hard to put regular Fender parts on it, like a bridge or pickups etc.

The trem block on this squier is definitely different and I know the fender American string spacing and nut width are slightly different. I’ve not had an issue with pickups but the majority of parts are certainly not directly interchangeable and I’m sure that’s intentional.

Just to answer your question on where they make these now, they did go back to Indonesia. That’s where my strat and Tele Deluxe were made both made around 2021. Love the videos and your strat.

I think this one was made in 2019 - I've got a sunburst CV that was made in China but I don't know when.

@@olddogguitars23 that would be right as far as I can find out. They were made in China for a long time and sometime after 2020 they were coming from Indonesia by the time I got one in 2021.

Thanks for the demo, was that Beatles? Blackbird? Good song BTW.
